I needed to get user's first name from database and pass the value to a javascript variable in JSON format.
I wanted to exclude the root, so I used this line.
ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false
then I declared a ruby variable named token which takes id and firstname attribute from user table,
@token = User.all.to_json(only: [:id, :firstname])
In the erb file, I used the following line,
var tokenList = <%= @token.html_safe %>
